My stay at the youth hostel in Zurich was quite pleasant overall. The location is not directly in the city center, but it's well-connected by public transport and very quiet. The cleanliness throughout the hostel was impressive, and the breakfast spread had a nice variety. However, the lack of complimentary toiletries and the need for a deposit for lockers were minor inconveniences.

I had a pleasant stay at the hostel, which is really ideal for anyone looking to explore Zurich on a budget. The place was clean and well-kept, although it's not right in the center of town. The bus stop out front made it convenient to reach downtown in just 15 minutes. The breakfast choices were excellent, providing a good value for the price. However, I did have a not-so-great experience with one staff member during my stay.
